WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Bacterial pathogens can live on surfaces for days. What if frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs could instantly kill them off? Purdue University engineers have created ...

Engineers have created a laser treatment method that could potentially turn any metal surface into a rapid bacteria killer -- just by giving the metal's surface a different texture. Bacterial ...

Copper surfaces kill microbes that come into contact with them in a matter of hours. A new technique makes the familiar metal even deadlier—by zapping it with lasers. Bacteria “are becoming more ...

Purdue University researchers have discovered a laser treatment to texture metals that can potentially transform almost any metal surface into one that quickly eliminates any bacteria that come into ...

Researchers from Purdue University have created a new laser treatment method that has the potential to turn any metal surfaces into a rapid bacteria killer by giving the surface a different texture.

Researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology utilized laser surface texturing techniques to improve the bond between galvannealed advanced high-strength steel and polyamide 6.

Can we use nothing more than sunlight and inexpensive materials to produce clean hydrogen fuel while also removing toxic pollutants from water? That question shaped our recent work with γ-In2S3, a ...

This reasoning led them to tune the surface energy of Cu foils in order to obtain single-crystal metal foils with desired surface types. The research team cut out the "gene" of a small single ...

These issues often stem from material limitations, including poor ion transport, unstable electrode interfaces, and dendrite formation in metal-based anodes. Overcoming these barriers requires ...
